# Serenity

x86 Unix-like operating system for IBM PC-compatibles.

## About

I always wanted to write my own operating system, but I never took it seriously. Until now.

## Screenshot

![Screenshot as of 000ccc0](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/awesomekling/serenity/master/Meta/screenshot-000ccc0.png)

## Current features

* Pre-emptive multitasking
* Compositing window server (in userspace)
* ext2 filesystem support
* mmap()
* Unix-like libc and userland
* Pseudoterminals
* Event-driven GUI library
* Other stuff I can't think of right now...

## How do I get it to run?

You need a cross-compiler for the i686-elf target.
I've only tested this on an Ubuntu 18.10 host with GCC, so I'm not sure it works anywhere else.

If you'd like to run it, here's how you'd get it to boot:

    cd Kernel
    ./makeall.sh
    ./run q          # Runs in QEMU
    ./run            # Runs in bochs
